Again, it's not getting a refund OR leaving feedback. You can get a refund AND still leave feedback. There is no need for you to "take the 40 dollar hit" in order to "broadcast the sales tactics."

By refusing to return the card for a refund, you actually make it more likely that eBay, the seller, and future buyers will disregard your message of displeasure. (See the other conversation running under this header for what I mean by not taking a complaint seriously if the buyer is unwilling to return the item for a refund).
